My Boru had his 5th birthday while we were in Folly Beach for Matt & Amber’s wedding.  I say it every year, but I just can’t believe he’s 5.  He’s breaking my heart!  We bought him a Piggly wWggly deli cake and had a small party on the deck of our beach duplex.  Our neighbor family had 2 little boys that clicked immediately with Boru and Odelia.  While they were vacationing from France, they didn’t speak hardly any English, but it didn’t matter.  Birthdays are birthdays in all languages. They made crepes for Boru–omg–delicious with lime juice and sugar.  He says it was the best birthday ever.    Love you, Boru Jack.

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in a cabin in the Smokies.  The wind nearly blew us off the mountain, but that was the only negative.  Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

It rained all day, and it didn’t look to good for trick or treating.  But, the rain finally went away just in time for the trick or treaters to arrive in our neighborhood.  The view of the rainbow from my front yard was pretty sweet.  It’s about time a rainbow followed the rain here.  I think this is the first time I’ve ever blogged right after taking the photos . . . I couldn’t wait to show off the babies.  Boru hasn’t stopped talking about Wolverine, and of course, it was his first choice for a costume this year . . . as well as every other little boy in Knoxville.  We waited to long to buy one, so we assembled one that was oh-so much better than anything in the store.  Hugh Jackman ain’t got nothin’ on Boru Kneiser.  And my Odelia!  How cute is my little flower?? She’s such a poser.  Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!
